SURGEON'S AFFIDAVIT.

(Date.)
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, That Seathmal Doty a mariner on board the United States Ship Alliance  in the company of commanded by Capt. John Barry  in the  regiment of the United States Navy in the  service of the  Revolution is rendered incapable of performing the duty of a soldier  mariner by reason of wounds or other injuries inflicted while he was actually in the service aforesaid, and in the line of his duty, viz:
By satisfactory evidence and accurate examination, it appears that on the tenth day of May in the year 1883 being engaged on board the U.S. Alliance in action with the Enemy at or near a place called off the coast of Florida  in the district  or territory of he received a wound in his right side by means in the of musket-ball which entered near the left side of his back bone, and came out at his right side, producing weakness and debility in his side and back
and he is thereby not only incapacitated for military duty, but, in the opinion of the undersigned, is three fourths disabled from obtaining his subsistence from manual labor. we are also of opinion that said Doty has been at least one half disabled by said wound ever since he received the same, and for thirty five years last past, he has been at least two thirds disabled thereby, and his present disability proceeds from said injury and no other cause,

Declaration of Jerathmiel Doty to be restored as an Innuid of the Revolution. —
J Douglas Woodward Attorney

State of Vermont County of Rutland ss. On this Nineteenth day of March 1852 before the Court of Probate in and for said County, held at Wallingford in said County present Hon Harvey Button Judge of Probate personally appeared Jerathmiel Doty a resident of said Town and County, aged seventy eighty seven years who being duly sworn according to law declares that he was a mariner on board the Ship Alliance during the war of the Revolution, and was injured in the service and placed on the Roll of Invalid Pensioners after the Revolution in 1801 at $32.32 per annum and afterwards by the act of April 24 1816 his pension was increased to $53.40 per annum which he relinquished for the benefit of the act of March 18, 1818. and he is now a pensioner under that act - He applied from Mass but has been transferred to Vermont. His pension under the act of 1818 commenced April 6, 1818. He claims that he is entitled to his pension as an Invalid from that time, to the present inclusive of life at $53.40 per annum (and at an increased rate to be certified by the Surgeons) in addition to the pension he has already received, and insists that the acts of Congress since 1818 will justify an allowance of his claim. He authorizes J. D. Woodard of Plattsburg New York to act as agent of his said claim.

From the evidence in this case it appears that the applicant was a mariner of the Revolution and served as such in the naval service of the United States more than two years, and was under the command of Capt John Barry and served on board the United States Ship Alliance. The pay of said Doty as a mariner was $8. per month or $100 per annum, that on the 10th of March 1783 while said Doty was engaged in the line of his duty as such mariner in action with the enemy off the coast of West Florida he received a wound or injury in his side by means of a musket ball which entered the left side of the back bone, and came out at his right side, in consequence of which injury he was, as an Invalid discharged from the Hospital at Pawtucket R. I. and placed on the roll of Invalid pensioners of the Revolution on the 24th day of September 1818 at $32. per annum under the act of March 16. 1802, and his pension commenced March 4. 1801 - and was increased by the act of April 24. 1816. to $53. 40 per annum.

The original certificate granted him being lost. If any further should be required in this case, after being notified I will endeavor to furnish it.
I beg leave to call again your attention to the case of James Lidget on which I have once written you. His original Discharge was forwarded, with his application, but the seal of the Court was not annexed. If required in that case, with the papers returned to me that it may be done.

L. Edward Esq Pension office

Rutland V t 9 Oct r 1839
Sir,
I inclose the last voucher of Jeremiah Doty, endorsed by Mr. Clark, that it is rejected by the Commissioner of Pensions - for difference in name, & date of certificate; and have respectfully to request your instructions, as to what steps Mr. Doty shall take for the purpose of regaining his pension?
As far back as 1835, or '36, or perhaps '37, Mr. Doty's payment was suspended for one of the reasons now assigned, the "date of certificate" - being dated some 8 days antecedent to the date of the act cited in the Certificate. That incongruity, was, however, explained, so far as it could be done by Mr. Doty, by showing that his certificate had been correctly copied in his affidavit of identity; and the Department was requested to order the Certificate returned, for correction, if deemed needful. But no notice was taken of the matter, other than to order the voucher paid. I beg leave respectfully to refer to that explanation, supposing it to be equally applicable in the present instance, as then. The objection was raised upon a March payment; but as I kept no minutes of the transaction, I state merely from recollection, and cannot specify the particular year.
As to the other objection, the difference in name, it had not escaped my observation, that Mr. Doty, in writing his name, has sometimes, and I believe generally, omitted the E from his christian name. But, always bringing with him the Certificate (which is correctly copied in the accompanying voucher), and being aged, infirm and evidently little accustomed to writing, I did not regard so slight an omission as material. If, however, in your judgment this deviation is so serious, as to deprive him; will you be pleased to advise what course shall be taken? If, on a comparison of his former signatures, it should appear, that

they are uniform, or possess strikingly similar characteristics, perhaps his misorthography should be imputed to ignorance; as it is altogether out of the range of probability, that he could have done so by design - an act which even he must have known would deprive him. He could not have done so by design.
On the contrary, he is now, a simple, honest, ignorant old sailor - and always, on a pension day, rehearsed the story of his services, and, particularly, that of his voyage to France, at the close of the revolution, to carry home Gen. La Fayette.
Without intending to discuss these questions, I may close by again respectfully soliciting your instructions in this case; and request that you will be pleased to return the inclosed voucher to me, if approved in its present form.
I am very respectfully

There is one case, that of Jeremiah Doty, which I ought to have attended to whilst at Washington, but it escaped my recollection. The man is very much disappointed at my neglect. I sent his declaration for restoration more than a year ago, thro' W. Mallory, but have heard nothing from it. Be so good as to examine this case, & inform me of the result.
Respectfully Your Ob. Serv t R. Temple
J. L. Edwards Esq. City of Washington

Rutland V t . 24. March 1835.
Sir:
By your letter of the 17 ultimo, I was informed that the pension of Jeremiah Doty would be paid at the Branch Bank at Burlington, as heretofore. Doty was a marine on board the U.S. Ship, Alliance, as stated on the printed pension Roll of Vermont, p 59.
And, by your subsequent letter of the 28 th of the same month, I was likewise informed, that the stipend of Rufus Parker, an invalid pensioner of the U.S. would be paid by the agent, as heretofore - p 10.
On presenting the proper vouchers for these claims at the Branch Bank on the 12 th instant, the attorney of those pensioners was informed, that orders to resume payment in those cases, as well as many others, had not then been received; and, accordingly, the payments were at that time refused. To a subsequent application, the same answer was returned.
Fearing that your orders in these cases may have miscarried, or, that they may have been abstracted from the northern mail between Albany and Burlington, which is understood to have been robbed some miles north of the former place about that time, I am requested to ask you to renew those orders; in order to enable them to reimburse their friends who had advanced the amounts of their pensions, after the 4 th of March, upon the faith of your letters to me announcing the restoration of those pensioners.
I am yet without any reply from you, to my inquiry in the case of Isaac Hoisington, who is so decayed from age as to be incapable of making any statement of his services. Will you be pleased, at your earliest convenience, to make me acquainted with your views on this subject?
Your decision in the several cases of Peleg Green, Benjamin Needham, and Daniel Gleason, under date of

12th of March instant, are all ruined.
I am also now to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th instant, relative to the original claim of Eli Macintire. I shall make known your statements to him; and unless he can explain it to your satisfaction, shall leave him to his demerits.

Gen. J. C. Calhoun
Sir,
I am requested by Mr Jeremiah Doty to ask you to review his case as a Pensioner. He made his original declaration 6 April 1818 & has a Pension Certificate N o 7489 - On 26 June 1820 he made his schedule of his Estate before Rutland County Court by whom his property was appraised at $155 - He rec d a notice from the Pension office July 8 last that he was struck from the Roll - I have noticed many cases of more property than Dotys who have been continued on the Roll & I presume he was struck off merely because he declared himself to be the owner a small house & barn & \frac{3}{4} of an acre of land - I think, unless you have established an invariable rule that being the owner of even so small a quantity of real Estate shall exclude the soldier from his countrys bounty, that this case merits a revision - It does not exclude Doty by our Laws from demanding aid as a pauper nor does it afford him any means of support, only so far as it saves him so much in the Rent of a house & Garden - In this case the value also is very small -
But if after a reconsideration of this case you still think yourself bound to exclude him from the Pension Roll on

account of his reduced circumstances, Mr Doty requests you will forward him a certificate as an Invalid Pensioner which you required him to surrender before you would place him on the Revolutionary Pension Roll. He is entitled to this if not contained on Rev. Pension Roll, and to have pay from 4 March 1820 from which term he has not been placed on the Roll.
Please to forward an answer to me & I will deliver it to Mr Doty.
I am respectfully

p 16 Nov 1839. Indian Office.

Rutland Vt 11 Nov. 1839
Sir:
About the 9 th ultimo, I addressed a letter to the Commissioner of Pensions, and inclosed therewith the accompanying voucher of Jeremiah, or Jerathmeel Doty, for that portion of his stipend which had accrued from the 4 th of March to the 4 th of September, 1839; stating, that the Agent in this State had declined payment, for the reasons endorsed thereon by himself in pencil; that the "difference in name & date of certificate" had been raised in 1835 or 1836, as an objection to the payment; that an explanation had been given, so far as the Magistrate before whom the oath of identity was taken could make one, which explanation was, that the Pension Certificate was correctly copied; and respectfully requested the Commissioner's instructions, as to Mr. Doty's future course, in order to insure the payment of his arrears & future pension. On the 21 st of October Mr. Edwards, returned a letter which, I beg leave respectfully to say, does not answer my inquiries — of which I herewith transmit a copy.
I was well aware, at the time the explanation above referred to was called for, that there was no act of the 18 th of March, 1819 , granting pensions; and suggested at the time, that if was deemed important, I would procure the old man's certificate and return it to the War Office, for correction (regarding then, as I do now, the year "1819", as a mere clerical error.) But, as no notice was taken of the suggestion, other than to order the payment upon the voucher on which the objection was raised, I presumed the Department regarded the error as immaterial. At any rate, Mr. Doty's subsequent drafts, excepting the present, have been promptly paid, although made out with exact copies of his pension certificate, like the one herewith presented.
As to the other objection: a deviation between the pensioner's signature, and his name as written in the body of the certificate, the error is probably of a like character with the other. Mr. Doty

asserts, that he has uniformly written his name, Israhmeel, omitting the t : and by way of affirming his own literary accuracy, he said, that that was the Scripture method of spelling his given name. Such high authority should not need confirmation; but, as evidence of his usage, Mr. Doty desires that the inclosed voucher may be examined - which seems to have been made out as far back as the 25 th of November, 1811 - and which he requests may be returned. How the name may have been spelled in the application for his pension of 96 dollars, I have no means of knowledge; having had no agency in that transaction! A reference to those papers will settle the question, as his own signature will probably appear there.
That the certificate is founded upon a wrong statute, and is therefore erroneous, is obvious from its impossible date, 10 th March, 1819 - being eight days before the passage of the law upon which it purports to be founded. The act should have been quoted in the certificate, as of the 18 th of March, 1818.
In regard to the proper preparation of vouchers , as required by the Commissioner, it is impossible for me at least to conceive what more can be done - always excepting the t omitted in Mr. Doty's signature - if the accompanying voucher be not drawn in strict conformity with the published rules of the Department. For 20 years past; or, since the 10 th of March 1819, he has drawn, upon this erroneous certificate, and upon the misorthography of his given name. Time, I know, cannot by its lapse sanctify error: and, on the other hand, this Government will never, I am persuaded, take advantage of its own mistakes.
I have the honor, therefore, to hand you the original pension certificate of Mr. Doty, bearing date the 10 th day of March, 1819; and to request, in his behalf, that it may be, either corrected, or replaced by a new and correct one; to the end, that hereafter, he may receive his stipend

as promptly as do other deserving soldiers of the revolution. Be pleased to return, also, the inclosed voucher; as it has not been yet paid.
I have the honor to be
Very respectfully

Dear Sir
From a very slight acquaintance last summer through the introduction of our friend Mr. Meadham I am inclined to write you, with the hope of mutual benefit. Jeremiah Doty served on board Ship Allicane & was wounded in battle & pensioned at $54. which he relinquished for benefit of the law of 1818 which he now receives - can there be any way of resuming the Invalid Pension & obtaining the arrears - as the disability was a permanent one - he claims to be entitled to prize money also - The widow of David White who lives near me claims that her husband served on board the Hancock and was entitled to prize money which he never obtained - perhaps you may have some clue to the evidence in these cases.
Prince Robinson served in Capt. John Huits company Col Greene Regt. Rhode Island Cont te line & was pensioned as Invalid at $96. Col Edwards says the evidence on which his Invalid pension was granted shows no evidence to pension his widow.
Should you be able to assist in these cases in case of success you may be benefitted on the terms you usually charge in like cases -
I am Respectfully your Obedient servant Henry Ward

I sent you the application of Mr Jerathmiel Doty of Vermont for an Invalid Pension on the 4 th of August last, and now enclose his power in addition to that contained in his declaration, and will be pleased to have you forward me his pension Certificate by mail. It is a clear case, made so by an act of Congress.
Respectfully Yours. J. D. Woodward, Atty for Jerathmiel Doty.
James E. Heath Esq Comm r of Pensions

Jerathmiel Doty was an Invalid Pensioner, under the Acts of 1802 and 1806, - After the passage of the Act of 1818, giving $56 per annum to soldiers and officers of the Revolution, he relinquished his Invalid Pension, in order, that he might receive the benefits of the Act of 1818, which allowed a higher rate of pension than he received as an Invalid. He was obliged to relinquish, as above, before he could be pensioned under the Act of 1818, as there was then no law in existence allowing a man to receive two pensions, at the same time, - He is still a pensioner under the last named act , The Act of 1818 only allowed $56 per annum for any character of service, but gave that amount to the soldier or officer , who served as much as nine months, - The law of June 7, 1832, graduated the amount of pension, so as to allow $80 per annum, as the maximum to a private, and to receive this, he must have served two years. If he served for a shorter period, his stipend was proportion- ably less. Officers received more, under this law soldiers were allowed to receive the stipend as above, and, also, to receive an Invalid Pension, provided they were at that time in the receipt

of an Invalid Pension, Of course, they might relinquish pensions under the act of 1878, to be placed on the Roll, under the act of 1832, for the obvious reason that they might thereby receive a higher pension, Now if the above construction of the laws of pensions be correct, Doty could not be benefitted, by the change he desires, because his pension under the act of 1832 would be just the same as it now is, $36 per annum, He is not now in the receipt of an Invalid Pension, having relinquished that, to be placed on the Roll, under the act of 1878, and could can not, therefore, receive both pensions,
The questions here presented are entirely new to me, as an examiner, I believe they are new to the office. With the above views I could not but reject the claim.

Statement of Jeremiah Doty of Wallingford in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont, placed on the Pension Roll of the United States, on the 10th day of March, 1819, as follows:
I enlisted into the service of the United States at Rochester in Massachusetts in April 1781, for three years, under Capt. Moses M c Farland, and served in the land forces until the month of November following; when I was transferred, as a marine, on board the United States Frigate, Alliance; where I did duty until March, 1782, when I was wounded in an engagement with three other ships of war that attacked our convoy from the Havannah. I believe this happened about the 10th of March of that year. The said Frigate Alliance was commanded, at the time I went on board, by John Barry Esq.; and my first trip in her was, in conveying General La Fayette home to France. My wound on board the said frigate, as above mentioned, was from a musket shot; it passed in at the left side, near the back bone, and out on the right side, dividing the fifth rib so completely that it has never yet united. I healed. I recovered from the wound, so as to be able to perform some light service, and offered myself to Governor Hancock, to fulfil the term of my enlistment (Gov t Hancock having transferred me from the land service aboard of the said frigate, as above mentioned.) I was told, however, that there was a cessation of hostilities, and that I might go home. I had no other discharge from the land service. But from the frigate I had a regular discharge, which was sent on with my papers when I first made application for a pension.
I belonged to the State of Massachusetts when in the service - and served at the time and in the places above mentioned.
The

The description of force with which I was employed is also stated above.
I resided in Rochester in Massachusetts when I first applied for a pension - and drew a pension from that commonwealth until the 4 March, 1803, when I was transferred to the United States pension Roll. A Doctor Lucas of Boston (his christian name not recollated) was the first magistrate before whom I had occasion to take an oath in making application for a pension; but I do not know, now, whether that declaration is at the war office of the U. S. or in the Secretary's office of the Commonwealth. I lived in Rochester ever after the war, until about the year 1809, when I removed to Windsor in Vermont; I resided there until the month of January 1812, when I again removed, and settled down in Wallingford above mentioned, where I have resided ever since.
The amount of pension which I now receive is eight dollars per month; and the last payment I received which was 48 dollars, was on the 4 th of September, 1834.
Stated at Rutland, 9 February 1835.
